According to the "Liskov substitution principle" (see the English wikipedia article of that name for references) a method in a subclass should have a stronger (or equivalent) contract that the corresponding method in the superclass. It could make sense to provide a corresponding check within Frama-Cxx, which could be enabled or disabled by an appropriate command-line option. This check would be negative (i.e. unprovable) for the attached program "140.cpp"; however, it would be positive if "==" in line 3 was changed to ">=". So this program can be used as a simple test case for such a check, if and when it is implemented. ## Attachments - [140.cpp](/uploads/1bc224ee781810c444a06c34ee30f3e8/140.cpp)
